1 4 HIGH PERCENTAGE (G413) Z Purton TT Jumped well enough, tracked leaders in a slowly run race, lengthened nicely to lead inside 200M, eased off closing stages when well in control.
2 2 RIGHTEOUS ARION (H059) H Bowman H/TT Settled behind midfield 3-wide without cover, travelled well with little change to the turn, driven wide top of straight, came from a fair way back to finish joint 2nd.
2 10 SO AWESOME (D258) L Hewitson B/TT Jumped on terms, restrained in midfield just over 3Ls off the pace, tracked path of eventual winner turning in, always held by winner in the run home but kept closing doggedly to finish joint 2nd.
4 1 GOLDEN LONG (H462) K C Leung TT Steadied after the start, maintained a midfield position along the fence, 4Ls away 400M, worked home hard under top weight for a 4th place finish. (Bled / Lame next day.)
5 11 COLONEL (D090) H T Mo V Jumped cleanly from draw 1, set slow pace to straight, led them to 200M then wilted in the running late stages.
6 7 COSMO NAVIGATOR (H156) A Hamelin B Pressed forward to be racing just off leader, fought hard early straight to maintain his position, couldn't sustain effort late, held ground near the line.
7 5 THE PERFECT MATCH (J253) M L Yeung TT Jumped only fairly, ended up racing towards the rear, made moderate progress on straightening but had to shift lane near 100M to continue forward.
8 6 MR VALIANT (G288) B Avdulla -- From wide draw shifted across behind runners, in last place at 400M 7Ls off the pace, went for inside passage but had difficulty obtaining clear running over final 150M. Inconclusive effort.
9 8 HERCULES (C476) Y L Chung B/TT Away with them, dropped back to a rearward spot 6Ls away, just battled to the line. Never threatened.
10 3 TOGEPI (G458) L Ferraris B/TT Taken back from wide draw, held up near last over 6Ls off the slow pace, hard pressed inside 500M but couldn't pick up well enough.
11 9 LUCKY QUALITY (D050) A Atzeni V/TT Tracked leaders in a slowly run race, always under pressure to maintain his position, weakened away 250M to finish last. (Jockey : would appreciate a firmer surface.)
